  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm a living testimony of the Lord's goodness. I have been through storm after storm, trial after trial. I'm 17 now, but it started back when I was around 5. My parents were separated so I had to bounce between homes. By about five years old my dad left me and never came back. That left my heart broken as a child. I was an extreme daddy's girl who loved him sooo much. I adored my father. The rejection from him turned my life upsidedown and I still wait for him to return to this day. Later on at about six I was molested by someone close to me and told my mother about it. I struggled with forgiveness because I biterlyvheld onto it from that age on.

Leaving my mom a single parent, we had to get on welfare and struggle as a family financially. I had a few half brothers and a sister. I showed signed of OCD around this time period. I ignored the signs though and thought it went away. Boy was i wrong..

In about fourth grade I became exceedingly shy and didn't fit in. My family moved almost every year and I began to stop making as many friends until eventually I had only a couple or so (if I consider them friends). I developed a personality disorder called AvPD and a condition called hyperhidrosis. Not having close friends and being an outcast made me depressed. All my sicknesses and rejection from my peers left me suicidal. It was at the lowest point in my life, high school that Lord poured His love on me.

My off had turned into scrupulocity (look it up) which was hard to handle. I constantly had doubts, blasphemous thoughts, pain, condemnation, and anxiety all day everyday almost. I felt so bad that I asked God to let me die. But He came to me with mercy, completely changing my life and healing me, showing me forgiveness, and allowing me to be in a relationship with Him. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I'm here to tell you that no matter what, trust in God. he is a good God. He loves you more than you could ever comprehend.
